Starting up boat for first time in 2 years. When trying to start all I hear is a pop/click noise. I am starting the omc cobra 5.0 directly from the slave starter solenoid following these instructions. Any ideas? Thanks.

battery (-) to ground
battery (+) to starter
12 volts (+) to (+) side of coil
jump slave solenoid (yel/red wire small post) with 12 v (+)

Pull the plugs and squirt a little lite oil in each cylinder. It will let it turn over easier. You probably should drain the gas and start with new too. Theres a possibility you may have to do some carb work if those things don't work.

Re: starting difficulty

Are you using a deep cycle marine battery? How old is the starter?
